Has anyone managed to leave the city yet? I've been trying to note down points of interest and figure out what part of the city is what but... not much luck beyond it.

[he rubs the back of his head a little awkwardly.]

I guess it makes sense to repopulate one city at a time, haha! [a beat. that wasn't funny, pipes.] Uh, anyway, if you arrived recently I hope it wasn't too rough. I know a medibay has been set up for sure.

[he gives the camera a thumbs up.]

Pipes out!

[and goes to turn it off BUT WAIT HE JUST REMEMBERED SOMETHING.]

No idea how to encrypt these... Mayday! D'you wanna go on a date sometime?

One Megatron is two Megatrons too many, Pipes. That's important, too.

( !!! )

Ships? Like... one to get us out of here?

[planate]

Didn't you say one of them was one of our captains now?

[???]

I think so! Though... can't really do anything with no parts.

[rodders]

Co-captain, Pipes. Co-captain.

[planate]

That's still a captain though, isn't it? Still has captain in the title.

[rodders]

Co-captain.

( STOP THIS. )

[planate]

[NOPE]

One of four captains.

[rodders]

No, I--




Four captains?

[planate]

You, Magnus, Drift and Megatron. You know, I never thought 3 was enough. Don't you need like, sub-captains or something?

[rodders]

( aww hell naw )

Magnus is my second-in-command, Drift was my third. Is my third. ( he reinstated him, obviously. ) Megatron's not even here anymore. He'd have comm'd me by now to yell if he was.

[planate]

Gone? Won't he just come back?

[gone where there's fuck all around here bro]

[rodders]

I don't know. Don't really care either.

( YOUR GUESS IS AS GOOD AS HIS, PIPES.

also that might be a lie, Megs is part of his crew. Part of his crew he desperately wishes wasn't but. It is what it is. )

[planate]

Well, it's Megatron. He'll be here to make our lives hell one way or another. Mechs like him don't just disappear.

[DECEPTICONS, MAN.]
